Forbidden Passion

Chapter 745 The Peeping Tom

Colorful bubbles danced in the air as Hubert, Boris, and Noomi excitedly chased after them. With a touch, the bubbles burst into countless droplets. They quickly closed their eyes, waiting for the cool sensation to pass, and then chased after the next bubble, having a blast.

Evelyn took photos of the children while Pamela sat next to her, taking the developed film and holding it close. Soon, clear images appeared.

"Oh no, it's a bit blurry, but Hubert's profile looks great. He looks so much like his mom," Pamela exclaimed in surprise.

Evelyn took a few more shots, letting Pamela wait for the prints. Even if some shots were blurry, the kids always looked good no matter how they were photographed. Despite her amateur skills, their good looks shone through.

"This one turned out well, all four kids are in it," Pamela said, handing the photo to Evelyn. Evelyn looked down to see the four children all reaching for a big bubble. Sunlight bathed them as they laughed heartily.

Ruby was blowing bubbles for them, and the dense bubbles floating in the air attracted many other children. In no time, a dozen kids surrounded her.

Standing in the sunlight, Ruby looked at the children around her, her eyes crinkling with joy. It was the happiest she had been in years.

Evelyn looked up to see Ruby's radiant smile and, moved by the moment, gently pressed the shutter button.

She captured Ruby's carefree expression.

At that moment, none of them noticed someone hiding behind a tree, snapping photos with a camera before sneaking away unnoticed.

Children have boundless energy. After the two bubble machines ran out, they were sweaty and tired. Evelyn called them back and handed each a bottle to drink some water. Hubert, feeling hungry, rummaged through a bag and pulled out four individually wrapped snacks. Noomi noticed and came over, asking, "Hubert, can I have one?"
